Electrician Stanmore and Kenton: EICR and EV Chargers

Stanmore and Kenton, on the Harrow and Brent border, are suburbs of 1930s semis, detached houses and bungalows, most with drives and long gardens. Many family homes have been extended at the back and into the loft, and the electrics have often been added to bit by bit. This page covers EICR certificates, consumer units and EV chargers in HA7 and HA3.

Areas we cover

We work across Stanmore, Canons Park, Belmont, Kenton, Queensbury, Kingsbury edge, Harrow Weald, Wealdstone and the borders with Edgware and Harrow on the Hill, as part of our coverage of Harrow and Brent.

EICR for homeowners and landlords

Landlords must have an EICR at least every five years and give a copy to tenants before they move in. Homeowners often book one before selling, before an extension, or when they are not sure of the state of older wiring. EICRs start from £100 and the certificate is emailed the same day.

What we often find

• Original 1930s lighting circuits with no earth.
• Extensions and loft rooms wired on to the old circuits.
• Older consumer units with a single RCD covering the whole house.
• Garden rooms and garages with unsuitable supply cables.
• Outdoor sockets with no weatherproofing or RCD protection.

Our guide to safe wiring for garden and outdoor sockets covers the outside of the house.

EV chargers on Stanmore and Kenton drives

With so many drives here, home chargers are a popular upgrade. We check the supply, earthing and board, upgrade the consumer unit where needed and fit the charger on the wall or a post to suit your parking.
